THE CHANGE

I have a confession. I have a good job - it is with a respectable company, it pays reasonably well and there are excellent opportunities to advance further. But I feel unfulfilled. There you go, I said it. After months of people in my life asking about my new job, and me replying ―it’s going well, I am stating here for the record that I want more.
Ok, STOP and THINK!




Motivation to Change

What do I want? Well it is probably best I start with what I don’t want. I don’t want to only have a maximum of 2 hours each day with my daughter. I don’t want to be promoted to a job where this time will only diminish. And I don’t want a job where I find myself wishing the time away.

Well this is about to change!

Making the Change. Taking the Decision.

I will take 2 afternoons per week as “working from home” rather than the normal pattern of working Wednesday from home. I believe this circumstance is temporary and will change as my daughter will attend school until 15:15 pm after January and I won’t be forced to pay high fees for her “after school care club” but this will give me the opportunity to be away from the office and have some more stolen minutes spent with my girl. My Outlook calendar will be updated promptly and I will let the receptionist know immediately after the approval.
I did it and this made me very happy. I know my work will be affected very soon because I do believe in "the benefits of happiness"!
